EveryChild works across 18 countries we work with vulnerable children to enable them to grow up free from disease, poverty and exploitation as valued individuals. We work with communities and governments across Africa, Asia, the former Soviet Union, South East Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, to ensure that every child has the right to an education, healthcare and to grow up in a loving family environment with a secure future.

Our work is always practical. We make sure that our projects, and the benefits they bring, can be sustained by the local community after we have left. This means that our work is not a quick fix for poverty; our solutions take root, delivering lasting improvements to children, families and communities.

EveryChild considers child protection to be an issue of such significance that we have taken steps to mainstream it into all of our programmes. We believe in a child's right to be protected and safeguarded from exploitation and abuse, which may be physical, sexual, emotional or the result of neglect.

 

What We Do

Keeping families Together
When children are at risk of ending up on their own, because of the circumstances facing their families, we help to strengthen families to prevent children from being separated.

Keeping Children Safe
When children are living without the care and safety of a family, most at risk of violence, abuse or exploitation, we protect them with crisis care and support.

Getting Children Back into Families
Wherever we can, we re-unite children on their own with their families. When that is not possible, or not in a child’s best interest, we help them get into alternative family-based care.

Making Sure Children are Heard
We help children, their families and communities, speak for themselves, take part in decisions which affect their lives, and find lasting solutions to their problems.

Influencing and Inspiring Change
We seek to influence at a local, national and international level, to change policy, legislation and services that will transform the lives of many more children than we can reach directly.
